Copy Path to Clipboard : Another Life Saver

Want to copy the path of a file to clipboard in Windows without having to open properties window? Just try Copy Path to Clipboard v 1.00 (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Copy-Path-To-Clipboard-JA.shtml). It's a pretty neat tool that saves quite a bit of human I/O time :D

Note. It works fine with Windows 7 as well.

ReSharper: Life Saver for Visual Studio Users

If you are using Visual Studio for application development then most probably you may have noticed the lack of built-in refactoring support. At least for me it was so obvious, probably because I was used to the rich environment provided by IntelliJIDEA (http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) for Java development. So finally did some search to see if there's any third party plug-in for Visual Studio on this aspect and guess what! The same guys who build IntelliJIDEA has a plug-in called ReSharper (http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/). I had no second thoughts to use it based on my experience and it sure changed my clumsy feeling towards Visual Studio :)

Unfortunately it's not free, but if you are doing open source development they give you it for free. Anyway, the cost isn't sky-high to purchase as well.

It's Cold Again

අඳුරු වළා ලං වුනා ද
එලිය නුඹේ නැති වුනා ද
සීත අහසෙ රජ වුනා ද
නුඹ ආයෙත් සැඟ වුනා ද

Subscript and Superscript with MS Word 2007 Equations

If you happen to use MS Word 2007 for equations and wonders why the heck there isn't a shortcut to subscript and superscript then you will like what I just found couple of minutes ago.

If you want to type e1 with 1 as subscript just type e_1. The moment you hit space it will become what you want. To make 1 superscript type e^1 and space. Enjoy!
